Fwd: [soac-chairs] Input requested: ICANN85 plenary on Internet resilience (March 9)
by Alejandra Reynoso Barral Feb. 18, 2026

Feb. 18, 2026

FYI ******************************************* Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching. Sing like nobody's listening. And live like it's Heaven on Earth. ******************************************* ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ram Mohan via soac-chairs <soac-chairs(a)icann.org> Date: Tue, Feb 17, 2026 at 1:08 AM Subject: [soac-chairs] Input requested: ICANN85 plenary on Internet resilience (March 9) To: ICANN SOAC Chairs <soac-chairs(a)icann.org>, Russ Weinstein Icann < russ.weinstein(a)icann.org> Friends, Thank you for your support for the plenary at the upcoming ICANN meeting in Mumbai: “*From Stability to Survivability: ICANN’s Role in the Future of Internet Resilience <https://docs.google.com/document/d/16DEqMVbyp8th726l0LG4_sU6yNNBpfbFicZD5PG…>*.” We have the prime slot following the Opening Ceremony on March 9. *Why this matters now:* The Internet is becoming more critical to everything we do, but investment in resilience is not keeping pace. The risk is no longer isolated outages, but broader, systemic disruption. This plenary is intended to help the community get ahead of that curve. The builds on work over the past 15 months with the Marconi Society, SSAC and ICANN. *Objectives* 1. Shift the community mindset from *technical stability* (“keeping the lights on”) to *strategic resilience* (surviving inevitable shocks). 2. Start defining ICANN’s unique role—organization and community—in mitigating systemic risks before they become global outages. *Plenary Structure* - An educational plenary highlighting four systemic threats: Exploding system complexity Underfunded preventive measures Intensifying regulatory pressures Software supply-chain risk - Forward-looking dialog on practical next steps. *The Ask: * To make this session truly action oriented, I am looking for your expertise. Specifically: - *The "Anchor" Points: *What is the one truth the community *must* accept by the end of this session? - *Evidence: *Do you have specific data points or "near-miss" examples that illustrate these systemic risks? - *Roadmap: *What is a practical first step ICANN can take to lead on resilience? - *Voice: *Who else should be on this stage to ensure our message has maximum execution potential? My goal is to make this session compelling and actionable. I would value your guidance as we finalize the framing. -Ram _______________________________________________ soac-chairs mailing list -- soac-chairs(a)icann.org To unsubscribe send an email to soac-chairs-leave(a)icann.org _______________________________________________ By submitting your personal data, you consent to the processing of your personal data for purposes of subscribing to this mailing list accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy (https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy) and the website Terms of Service (https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos) You can visit the Mailman link above to change your membership status or configuration, including unsubscribing, setting digest-style delivery or disabling delivery altogether (e.g., for a vacation), and so on.

RySG and ccNSO joint upcoming meetings
by Alejandra Reynoso Barral Feb. 3, 2026

Feb. 3, 2026

Dear Beth Hope this email finds you well. With all the emails back and forth I confess that I've lost track of what we have agreed so far for our upcoming joint meetings. The last thing I have in my notes is: 1. A proposal for a zoom call between RySG and ccNSO leaderships before Mumbai, to land the planning of continued collaboration between RySG and ccNSO. 2. The invitation to have members of the CPH Outreach to join the ccTLD community on Wednesday block 3, to discuss the DNS Abuse Mitigation PDPs, ccNSO participation and how ccTLDs and gTLDs can share their experience going forward. Could you please confirm if we should schedule the zoom call and whether members of the CPH Outreach can join our session? Please also let me know if I have missed or misunderstood something. Looking forward to working together! Best regards, Alejandra ******************************************* Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt.

Hi Kim I hope this email finds you well. The messages below were forwarded to me by Eberhard.

Re: [EXTERNAL] - [SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning] Reminder by Friday 21st Nov: Feedback needed: SOAC Leaders ICANN84 Feedback & ICANN85 Kick off call
by Jordan Carter Nov. 21, 2025

Nov. 21, 2025

Hi folks Personally I'm happy with a reviews session. Will we need two? If not, I wonder if a session about 'after the WSIS' might be useful. The framework will be known, and so situating ICANN in the post-WSIS world would have value? The geopol update, which is dry and info rich, could definitely remain in prep week. Thoughts? J Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef> ________________________________ From: Nathalie Peregrine via SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning <soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning(a)icann.org> Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2025 10:24:16 PM To: soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning(a)icann.org <soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning(a)icann.org> Subject: [EXTERNAL] - [SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning] Reminder by Friday 21st Nov: Feedback needed: SOAC Leaders ICANN84 Feedback & ICANN85 Kick off call Dear all, A reminder that your feedback is required on the below points stemming from the first ICANN85 Kick off call last week, copied here from the email below for your convenience: REQUEST: We seek your feedback and suggestions on the following questions: * Community Sessions 1 & 2: Do you support scheduling a session on the Review of Reviews for Community Session 1? What other topics would you like to see discussion at the second Community Session, or would you rather see just the one Community Session on the schedule? * Do you support holding the Geopolitical Forum virtually as part of Prep Week for ICANN85? BLOCK SCHEDULE: The block schedule, updated version is attached to this email, has seen a few changes, coordinated by your SOAC Support staff, focusing only on the time and date of the bilateral sessions with the Board as follows: * Monday, 09 March 16:30 – 17:30: Change from Joint ICANN Board & GNSO Council to Joint ICANN Board and RSSAC * Wednesday, 11 March 10:30 – 11:30: Change from Joint ICANN Board & ASO to Joint ICANN Board & GNSO Council * Wednesday, 11 March 16:30 – 17:30: Change from Joint ICANN Board and RSSAC to Joint ICANN Board and ASO NEXT PRODUCTION CALL: Has been scheduled for Tuesday 25th November 2025 at 16:00 UTC. Please let us know if you have not received the calendar invitation. Thank you! Nathalie From: Nathalie Peregrine <nathalie.peregrine(a)icann.org> Date: Monday, November 17, 2025 at 8:44 PM To: "soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning(a)icann.org" <soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning(a)icann.org> Subject: SOAC Leaders ICANN84 Feedback & ICANN85 Kick off call Dear all, Thank you to those who joined the ICANN84 Feedback & ICANN85 Kick Off call held earlier today. For those who could not make it, please find the recording here<https://icann.zoom.us/rec/play/_md_DoewpJ-dqSNoAEWZZxzNP5Xmy1b0YiQ0eCxbnBcu…> and the Block Schedule and Production timeline attached to this email. A second Production call will be scheduled very shortly. Please find here below a summary of what was said during the call, followed by action items for SOAC leadership: Feedback on ICANN84: * A scheduling conflict with a key ICANN org session of direct interest to ccTLD managers was raised by the ccNSO. Further communication and collaboration will be put in place to minimize the risk of this happening again. * A lack of coffee being served was noted for the last coffee break of the last day of the meeting, this will be relayed to our staff supporting catering. * A screen in one of the meeting rooms was too small for participants to read in the room, this has been noted by the Production team. * Appreciation was shared by those on the call for Meetings team and Travel for their efforts to procuring a venue at late notice and making the meeting a success * Support was shown for the ICANN85 Welcome Reception (gala) and for these taking place offsite when possible. Review of the proposed draft ICANN85 Block Schedule: * The new addition of a pilot for a ICANN Board & Community Discussion to the block schedule (as a concrete outcome of the How We Meet project) saw a discussion on its structure and purpose. Several participants were in favour of it being topic-based, rather than open questions to the Board. It was understood that this session will not replace the current joint SOAC meetings with the Board. There was a suggestion to hold this new session at the Policy Forum when there are no bilateral meetings with the Board. * The addition of a series of 2026 Next Round Info sessions, based on the anticipated timing of the launch of the next round of new gTLDs, was noted without objection. * The ccNSO raised the issue of set time blocks for Tech Day (Monday), this will be discussed with the ccNSO directly. * The option of having the Geopolitical Forum take place during Prep Week with a focus on interactive exchanges for the onsite meeting was also discussed. * Little time was left for the discussion on the Community Sessions (topics and whether to hold one or two) but the suggestion was made to have at least one of the sessions focus on the Review of Reviews. REQUEST: We seek your feedback and suggestions on the following questions: * Community Sessions 1 & 2: Do you support scheduling a session on the Review of Reviews for Community Session 1? What other topics would you like to see discussion at the second Community Session, or would you rather see just the one Community Session on the schedule? * Do you support holding the Geopolitical Forum virtually as part of Prep Week for ICANN85? We will greatly appreciate your feedback on these questions by Friday 21 November if possible. In addition, if you have suggestions for how we can plan and structure the new Board-Community Discussion session, we will be grateful to receive those as well. Thank you! Kind regards, Nathalie, on behalf of the Schedule team

Fwd: [soac-chairs] Draft Bylaw Change Playbook
by Alejandra Reynoso Barral Nov. 21, 2025

Nov. 21, 2025

FYI ******************************************* Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching. Sing like nobody's listening. And live like it's Heaven on Earth. ******************************************* ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Alejandra Reynoso Barral <alejandra.reynoso(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Nov 21, 2025 at 2:59 PM Subject: Re: [soac-chairs] Draft Bylaw Change Playbook To: Russ Weinstein <russ.weinstein(a)icann.org> Cc: Soac-chairs(a)icann.org <Soac-chairs(a)icann.org>, Policy Team Leaders < policy-team-leaders(a)icann.org>, Kurtis Lindqvist <kurtis.lindqvist(a)icann.org>, John Jeffrey <john.jeffrey(a)icann.org>, Sam Eisner <Samantha.Eisner(a)icann.org > Dear Russ After having a conversation with the ccNSO Council I want to express my appreciation for the proposed playbook, and I believe it is a sound basis to understand the complexities inherent in ICANN Bylaw changes. From reading the Playbook, it is our understanding that the Bylaw amendment process can be divided in two phases: - Phase one: The procedures to develop a proposed Bylaw change, starting with a request for a Bylaw change and ending with the Initiation of the Bylaw amendment process by the Board (directing a public comment) - Phase two: The procedures and actions as defined in the ICANN Bylaw amendment procedures starting with the public comment period and ending a Board decision to stop the process or ending with EC rejection or approval action process. After an initial evaluation of the playbook, we believe that focusing on the mapping and documenting of the first phase is most helpful to explain how a Bylaw amendment should be proposed by (a part of) the community, and to understand what to expect after an amendment is proposed. Since 2016, when the Empowered Community was established, various Bylaw amendments have been initiated and concluded, and the community has gained an understanding of its role and the procedures. Looking at the Bylaw Change Playbook we have identified the following basic flow for phase one (see overview below). 1. Originating Request. 2. Addressee. 3. Assessment of need and scope of the requested Bylaw amendment. 4. Coordination and detailing of proposals with requesting entities. 5. Consistency Check. 6. Board Initiation (Milestone): End of Phase 1 and Start of Phase 2. Assuming this flow is correct, we have the following questions and observations: - Does it make a difference how a Bylaw proposal originates? For example, through a PDP, a Bylaw mandated review, or a community working group? If so, what is the impact? - Are there Bylaw change requests that by definition can not result in an amendment, for example if a Bylaw amendment is only suggested as part of comment in a public comment procedure and this suggestion is not accepted? In the past the ccNSO Council suggested a Bylaw change through a public comment. This part of the public comments was not accepted by the relevant committee, i.e not included as recommendation by the review team. Does a request for a Bylaw change need to meet any formalities and/or format? - Who is the addressee of a Bylaw amendment? Board, CEO & President, other (for example both)? - Once a request is received, it is unclear from the Playbook, who from staff will be designated to assess the need and scope, who will be informed about the outcome, what is a reasonable timeline, and how to escalate matters if needed. We believe that providing clarity will add significantly to the predictability of the amendment process and cooperation of entities involved in the process. To date the ccNSO had varying experiences with respect to this and the next steps of Phase 1 ( Coordination with requester and Consistency check) . Finally, the Council would like to understand when a request fails? Who decides? Will the requesting party be informed and by whom?

After our discussions at ICANN, I wanted to follow up to try to establish a plan for collaboration between our groups on the DNS Abuse PDPs. Soon Council will have an updated Issues Report and Charter that reflects the Public Comments. It would be great to have some collaboration set up as those discussions get started. We are happy to set up a dedicated email list as well as meetings with our RySG DNS Abuse Working Group (and hopefully the joint CPH DNS Abuse Group) and your dedicated DNS Abuse Working Groups or teams. Please let us know what will work best for you and your group and we’ll get started! Looking forward to working together throughout the PDP processes.
